Blue Goose
Watercolor, 2006 18"x24" ~ SOLD Several years ago I did a painting of a goose in a David Daniels workshop. As a painting it wasn't particularly successful, but the goose itself came out great. I saved all the reference material with the intent of trying it again someday. Blue Goose is the result. David Daniels begins by drizzling some masking fluid here and there on the paper, but I went one further; I drizzled on some white glue, too. As I painted, I also sprinkled salt into the washes, dripped alchohol and white gouache, and spattered both water and paint. My idea was to establish a series of horizontal layers, with something subtly different happening in each layer. At this scale, unfortunately, about the only effect you really see is the stripes of glue running through the goose. But that was sort of the idea. | |
